Assignment:
Sarah Scott - Aphasia - 5 Years after a Stroke at 18
Fluent Aphasia (Wernicke's Aphasia)
Watch the videos provided in readings and resources. Explain how the symptoms of Sarah Scott and Byron Peterson help us to identify the areas of the brain responsible for linguistic processing. How does our study of aphasia help to trace the workings of the brain as it engages in auditory processing and decoding of incoming messages, and formulation and production of outgoing messages? Describe a treatment or intervention for a stroke patient from one scholarly article you have researched to share with the class.
